Interim X logo goes live later today,&#8221; Mr Musk tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter, founded in 2006 and whose name is a play on the sound of birds chattering, has used avian branding since its early days. The blue bird logo had served as Twitter&#8217;s visual identity since its inception, but it has now been replaced by a striking white &#8216;X.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Soon after the announcement, Twitter&#8217;s new identity and name started trending on the microblogging website, sparking a flurry of hilarious memes and jokes. Many were curious to know what the X.com users and employees would be called, and what Mr Musk will be called from here on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One user joked, &#8221;Following the supposed change of Twitter NG logo from a bird to X, Twitter Users shall henceforth be known as X-MEN; Twitter Videos shall be deemed Xvideos; Twitter influencers shall bear the title X-rated; and those who leave the app shall be fondly called X-lover.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>See a few other tweets here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Bye our friend\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb You will be missed.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwitterX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwitterX<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TheX<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GoodbyeTwitter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GoodbyeTwitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwitterIsDead?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwitterIsDead<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RIPTwitter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RIPTwitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XQE6OB2CoM\">pic.twitter.com\/XQE6OB2CoM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fresa (@FresaFluffyFox) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FresaFluffyFox\/status\/1683383457861214208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Twitter Twitter X <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xYtqS3qnSR\">pic.twitter.com\/xYtqS3qnSR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chandler Bing Parody (@ChandlerBing_12) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChandlerBing_12\/status\/1683173263797547008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Rumors says that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ElonMusk?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ElonMusk<\/a> is inspired by Teja for changing Twitter symbol to &#8216;X&#8217;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwitterX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwitterX<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DSphtxr6hr\">pic.twitter.com\/DSphtxr6hr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sharia Destr\u00f8yer (@Sanghi_0_Damn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sanghi_0_Damn\/status\/1683413573828235265?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">New names for Twitter employees after <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Elon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Elon<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Musk?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Musk<\/a> decides to change <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Twitter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Twitter<\/a>&#8216;s name to &#8216;X&#8217;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwitterX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwitterX<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nObXRGShbo\">pic.twitter.com\/nObXRGShbo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mitchel Hovingh (@TheMitchHD) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheMitchHD\/status\/1683362804491755520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">When Twitter&#8217;s new logo reminds you of your X. \ud83d\ude05<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwitterX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwitterX<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwitterLogo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwitterLogo<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Twitter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Twitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ElonMusk?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ElonMusk<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwitterBird?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwitterBird<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwitterBlue?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwitterBlue<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RIPTwitter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RIPTwitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q400VRB61k\">pic.twitter.com\/q400VRB61k<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sourabh Bari Jhunjhunwala \uea00 (@thesourabhbari) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thesourabhbari\/status\/1683415592500600832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rEJXEFsVSi\">https:\/\/t.co\/rEJXEFsVSi<\/a> sounds like an adult site..
